The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-06-24

1t was impossible for the crowd to
get out of the way. The police forced their
horses into the struggling crowd, and the
animals reared and plunged while the police
reached here and there and struck down as
many as their clubs could touch. The terri
fed crowd yelled with fear and scrambled
in all directions to avoid the horses. Many
were strnck and knocked down, but were
carried away without their names being
known. Sergt. Keelan, of the mounted
squad, headed the charge, which was made
under his orders, and forced his horse into
the middle of the crowd near the Adams
statue, in Adams square. Joseph Horn,
aged IL, was knocked down and trampled
under the horses hoofs. He was picked up
insensible and taken into the Quincy House,
where he recovered consciousness, and was
| soon removed to his home. He is believed
to have suffered internal injuries, but will
probably recover.
After this charge by the police Dock
| Square was cleared and the crowd swarmed
into Adams Square. They crowded up
around the statue of Samuel Adams and
half a dozen stump speakers climbed up on
| its sides and addressed the crowd They de-
| nounced in violent terms the British, and in
an excited manner urged the mob to attack
| the police and drive them away from
| Faneuil Hall. While the speakers, who
| chung to the bronze statue for support, were
melting the rioters by incendiary speeches,
the report was shouted that the police had
just killed q little bow At this one of the
| orators raised his hat and said
MY God, has it come to this! To support
| the British dogs the Boston police have
trodden to death an innocent lad. 1t is time
that the EngliShmen who wear badges of
American police be driven into the river.
What resolution can we adopt for fitting

rage in yclls Of:
Oh the Queen!"
"Burn the hall!n
"Down with the - Britishers!"
'Drive off the police"
Down with Faneuil HALL"
The mob was growing excited, and it was
deemed unsafe to allow the speeches to con-
| tinue. The police were ordered to charge
the crowd, and they did SO, the mounted
officers driving into the mob at full speed,
while the policemen on foot followed close
behind, and scattered the others by a liberal
use of their clubs.
| Dock square and the crowd about the
Adams monument being cleared, the divided
| mob rushed into Brattle street. AT the cor
ner of Brattle square a man wearing the
| badge of the British Society stood up and
started to say in loud voice why the de-
monstration against the Queen was wrong.
He had barely said enough to identify him
| self with the friends of the Queen when he
was set upon from all sides and knocked
down. The Infatuated rioters beat him I'M
mercifully and tore his hat and coat from
him. Rising to his feet, he was knocked
down again and his face terribly pounded.
| There is little doubt that he would have been
| killed but for the timely appearance of the
| police, who scattered the crowd and res
cued him.
After this the crowd became scattered,
| a]n1N i.,,
charged them and drove them up the street
If it had not been for the large body of
police early on the ground and their activity
| III all directions there is little doubt that
Faneuil Hall would have been sacked and
the British Society attacked and driven
away. Several persons were injured by the
| charges of the police but they managed to
! get away with the help of their friends
| without their names being known. Boston
has not seen so Infatuated gathering since
the draft riots of war times. ,;
In the hall the noise and threatening yells
of the crowd outside could be plainly heard.
The banquet was spread for 525 persons, but
only 400 sat down to the dinner, A large
number of ladies were frightened away by
the threats that had been made of an attack
ON the hall, and those who did go paid more
attention to the windows, in fear of bricks
and other missiles, than to the dinner or the
speeches.
After the banquet James Wemyss, Jr.,
who presided, introduced the Rev. Frederick
Courtenay, of st. Paurs church, who re-
piled to the toast, ''The Queen" The other
toasts were responded to by DR.. William G.
BRYAN, Dr. Derrick (colored), of New York,
and several others. No one wished to re-
spond to the toastt to the President, although
Col. Saltonstall, Collector of Revenue, was
called upon. The demonstrations of the
crowd about the hall had a decidedly damp
ening effect upon the banqueters.
The following is a copy of the cable dis
patch sent by the Rev. P. A. McKenna in
accordance with the vote of the meeting at
Fanueil Hall last night to protest against
allowing the use of the Cradle of Liberty
for exercises in connection with the Queens
